I couldn't find a comparison between regrowth + swiftmend combo (spec: Soul of the Forest + Rampant Growth; likely also Dream of Cenarius) and Rejuvenation (spec: Germination), so I tried to make my own.

My gear ilvl is 677 and my procs are spirit and crit (i.e. they don't affect direct numbers, so easy to test). I'm heavily biased toward crit (gems and enchants) for Soul of the Forest/Rampant Growth/Dream of Cenarius spec (I know this goes against the established wisdom).

I would like your input on better Rejuvenation stats (e.g. from those who actually gear for haste/mastery) so I can compare better + I would appreciate if you'd double-check my logic & math below.

The numbers I list below are unbuffed except for MotW. They are also double-checked in game (for actual healing done; for mana cost I rely solely on tooltips, so if they lie there -- oops).

Perhaps I should start with explaining Regrowth + Swiftmend combo as it is not often used. Soul of the Forest talent makes your Swiftmend to increase next Regrowth healing by 100% (+ other things irrelevant here) -- via 15 sec buff. Rampant Growth talent makes your Swiftmend consume your HoT (e.g. from Regrowth) but at the same time it no longer has cooldown and heals for 20% more.

So with these two talents you can spam non-stop 100% buffed Regrowth + Swiftmend combo. For this reason you must NOT glyph Regrowth as it'll remove HoT component that Swiftmend needs.

on average one of the Regrowth or Swiftmend will crit per combo (16% chance no crit, 16% chance both crit, 68% chance one of them crits); their values are very close, but to be very exact for the case when one of them crits average healing:

I replied on the wow forum, but if you have other logs post them here so I can have a look through them

From a quick look at it, it doesnt seem viable in the slightest, But I'd have to look through actual play logs to see how it works out

EDIT: Go Into a bit more detail

Lets say your swiftmend+regrowth both crit, who are you possibly needing to heal for 150k every 3s + the sheer spirit you would need to spam that constantly is somewhat ridic even if you were casting wrath inbetween

I Did run DOC/Germ/ITOL For ALL Of Progression, To avoid wiping due to lack of mana (& Still managed to go oom) Although from the logs I linked on the forum you were 8 healing 30man & at similar ilvl I was 3 healing 20m and 5 healing 30m
